With Open Arms
I really wish you could see this one even larger .. detail gets so lost in RB’s preview (sigh) ... I’m now trying more new things … this one is two apo fractals layered then mirrored along with other tweaks, texturing and lighting … as for what it is … good, neutral or malevolent I leave that up to you, the beholder (grin)
Work done in Apophysis 2.06 3D with post work in Gimp. Best viewed large.

A majestic, regal bird of prey, Owl. The symbol, perhaps, of another civilization more advanced than ours. He’s looking down saying: here I am, admire me in all my glory. And I do!
owlspook replied
thanks bev (smile) .. I never thought owl but I did first think “Behold …” ... was thinking more along the lines of some ancient god of fire or something like that … so I ended up leaving ambiguous … you see what you see through your own eyes (smile)

The contrasts make it very powerful!! I think this would make a fabulous T-shirt designs as well! To me there’s a very gothic feel to it! :)
owlspook replied

I see an astral being, are it’s open arms wanting to gather in the hurt, the hungry, the beaten-down and give compassion and healing? Is it a malevolent being? Whatever it is, it’s beautiful and spiritual!! Instant fav Miss Owl! You’ve really created something amazing here!!
owlspook replied
your guess is as good as mine (big smile) ... yes it sure could be spiritual … cool idea (big smile) .. thank you so much Jen! (big smile)
Deborah H. Benoit

Colin Cartwright
Yes, I know with my own paintings, how much fine details are gone in these tiny thumbnails we have on here – even on the, ‘view larger’,
From what I can see here, this looks a sophisticated piece of digital art. Well done.

thank you Colin (big smile) your comment is most appreciated (big smile)
